Q. I have clematis that was new last year. It bloomed last year, but it was moved this year due to some patio work. It is growing profusely, but all leaves, no flowers. What have I done wrong?
A. Moving a plant almost always produces some shock and it is hard to predict what those results might be. Since the foliage is looking good in the new location it appears the move was somewhat successful.
You do not mention what type of clematis you have. Some do not rebloom well the second year. Along with the move, this may account for the absence of flowers. Some clematis (Group III) also must be pruned in order to get flowers the second year.
